Whole30 prepping

The time is almost here. The start of a Whole30. We want to be prepared for success. Here are some recipes for replacement pantry items and a weeks menu.

One of the things that will take down your Whole30 is the lack of taste in your food. If you did your research and read some labels, by know you will know that EVERYTHING has some sort of sugar in it. The best way to still have some condiments for your food would be to make them yourself.


Mustard is OK. It doesn't usually have sugar in it but check just in case, but Ketchup is loaded with it so here is a quick recipe for homemade.

1 can Tomato paste- there should be no sugar added 
2 tbl.sp vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon- I do 1 tbl. of both
1/4 teasp. dry mustard & Cinnamon & salt
1/3 c. Water
 1/8 teasp. Cayenne pepper- I try not to have nightshades so I leave this out
a pinch of all spice
This makes 2 cups but I usually double it because if you keep it in the fridge it should keep for awhile.


Also, salad dressings are loaded with sugar. My go to is Ranch so here is a recipe for that. I actually have gotten us to not using dressings. You can just use some Olive oil & lemon.

1 egg
1 c. olive oil
1 tbl.sp lemon juice
2 tbl.sp red wine vinegar
1 teas. salt & pepper
3/4 teas. garlic powder
1/2 C. full fat coconut milk
1/4 C. (handful) herb of your choice- I use parsley
 here's the key- blend for a minute




 Now don't forget that it is a good idea to go through your cabinets and get rid of all the stuff you will be tempted by. I know that it is hard if you are the only one in the house doing a Whole30 (been there)

If you want more recipes then hit up Pinterest because it is full of them or looking for something in particular, hit up your local whole food store. Trader Joe's is a good place and even Aldi is a good store to shop for a Whole30 just always, ALWAYS read lables.
